Get Ready for #PBSIceCreamWeek!

Nearly every day is a different food holiday, but some of these days, believe it or not, are real. President Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984, and the third Sunday in July is National Ice Cream Day. Not only do these holidays give us an excuse to indulge, PBS Food has also seen great traction with these holidays on social media. In particular, our call on social for the "Best Ice Cream Shops in America" in honor of National Ice Cream Month last year generated over 12K votes!

We are leveraging this annual opportunity this year as a joint effort between PBS Food, PBS Parents, PBS Digital Studios, PBS LearningMedia, and PBS KIDS to highlight all of our respective ice cream content as a week-long collaboration starting Sunday, July 19th (which is National Ice Cream Day) through Saturday, July 25th under the unified hashtag of #PBSIceCreamWeek.

Stations can participate in this effort by sharing your own ice cream content using the hashtag on social, as well as posting the provided Suggested Tweets/Posts, which are listed below:
